Sports Hochi in Japan reports that Tsuyoshi Wada will sign with the Softbank Hawks.

Wada played for nine seasons with Softbank before coming to the majors in 2012. The left-hander had some success with the Cubs after injuries sabotaged his tenure with the Orioles, but the 34-year-old decided to return to his native country. Mon, Nov 2, 2015 09:34:00 PM

The 34-year-old left-hander was limited by shoulder issues during the 2015 season. He appeared in just eight games for the Cubs, posting a 3.62 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 31/11 K/BB ratio over 32 1/3 innings. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. Sat, Oct 31, 2015 12:26:00 PM

Cubs sent LHP Tsuyoshi Wada outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Wada was removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster earlier this week. The 34-year-old left-hander struggled with a shoulder injury in 2015 and was primarily a Triple-A pitcher when healthy. He'll be an interesting free agent case this winter after flashing some positive signs in 2014. Thu, Oct 15, 2015 12:25:00 PM

Cubs designated LHP Tsuyoshi Wada for assignment.

He's now off the 40-man roster, although Wada was slated for free agency this winter, anyway. The lefty posted a 3.36 ERA across 21 appearances -- 20 starts -- over the last two seasons for the Cubs. Sun, Oct 11, 2015 12:41:00 PM
